Fifty-Sevknth  Annual  Register  and 


IbtetoricaL 


This  school  opened  its  first  session  in  the  spring  of  1842, 
under  no  distinctive  name.  It  was  known  as  the  "  School  at 
Botetourt  Springs,"  and  was  conducted  in  the  interest  of 
both  sexes.  Subsequently,  as  it  continued  to  grow  in  strength 
and  numbers,  it  was  called  "  The  Valley  Union  Seminary." 
For  ten  years  it  prospered  on  the  original  plan,  and  during 
that  period  sent  forth  many  young  men  who  became  prominent 
in  business  and  professional  life.  It  was  under  the  control  of  a 
joint  stock  company.  In  the  year  1851,  both  departments 
being  filled  with  pupils,  the  company  determined,  from  various 
considerations,  the  controlling  one  being  inadequacy  of  accom- 
modations, to  suspend  the  department  of  males,  or  transfer  it 
to  another  locality.  The  most  potent  reason  for  continuing 
this  school  for  girls  exclusively,  arose  from  the  fact  that  there 
was  at  that  time  no  chartered  institution  for  girls  in  all  Vir- 
ginia, city  or  country — no  institution  with  elaborate  and  sys- 
tematic courses  of  study. 

The  session  1852-53  opened  for  girls  only,  with  broad  and 
elevated  courses  of  study.  The  accommodations  were  very 
soon  all  filled,  and  since  that  time  the  school  has  continued  to 
prosper.  The  fact  that  girls  from  many  parts  of  Virginia 
eagerly  entered  the  school  and  took  advanced  courses  of  study, 
many  of  them  coming  from  uncultured  homes,  had  a  startling 
effect ;  for  it  demonstrated  the  fact  that  the  people  were  in 
advance  of  their  leaders  on  the  question  of  the  higher  educa- 
tion for  women. 

The  time  had  come  for  the  higher  education  for  girls,  and 
that  fact  having  been  made  palpable  by  the  unlooked-for  suc- 
cess of  this  Institution,  numerous  Christian  schools  were  soon 
inaugurated  in  the  State. 

This  school  continuing  to  overflow  with  pupils,  in  1855 
Mr.  John  Hollins,  of  Lynchburg,  a  gentleman  of  wealth, 
inspired  by  his  pious  wif'j,  Mrs.  Anne  Hollins,  proposed  to  the 


Announcement  of  Hollins  Institute.  7 

company  having  charge  of  the  property  to  place  the  entire 
enterprise  in  the  hands  of  a  self-perpetuating  Board  of  Trus- 
tees. The  company  acceded  to  this  proposition,  and  Mr. 
HoUins  placed  at  their  disposal  the  sum  of  five  thousand  dol- 
lars for  further  improvements.  Having  performed  this  noble 
deed  of  philanthropy,  Mr.  Hollins  returned  to  his  home  and 
was  soon  stricken  with  paralysis,  from  which  attack  he  never 
recovered.  Mrs.  Hollins,  however,  continued  to  be  the  fast 
and  liberal  friend  of  the  school.  She  subsequently  made  sev- 
eral handsome  donations,  and  would  doubtless  have  heavily 
endowed  it  at  her  death  but  for  the  fact  that  her  investments 
were  totally  swept  away  by  the  results  of  the  war. 

Under  its  new  charter,  with  corporate  name  of  ''  Hollins 
Institute,"  it  is  empowered  to  hold  funds  and  property  to  the 
amount  of  three  hundred  thousand  dollars.  Extensive  and 
costly  improvements  have  been  recently  made — wholly,  how- 
ever, by  private  means — and  the  school  is  finely  equipped. 

Until  1870  the  school  was  sustained  by  Virginia  patronage 
alone.  It  did  not  make  itself  known  (and  had  no  occasion  to 
do  so)  beyond  the  limits  of  the  State.  Since  that  time  it  has 
drawn  pupils  from  a  much  larger  area;  about  twenty  States 
are  represented  each  session. 

Besides  the  numerous  cultivated  characters  it  has  given  to 
society  at  large,  its  contributions  to  the  teaching  profession 
have  been  numerous  and  most  creditable.  Its  graduates  are 
found  in  the  faculties  of  many  public  and  Christian  schools  of 
various  denominations  in  this  and  other  States.  Its  represen- 
tatives also  stand  on  nearly  every  foreign  mission  field. 

We  give  on  the  following  pages  a  list  of  full  graduates, 
medalists,  etc.,  it  has  sent  forth  during  the  fifty-seven  years  of 
its  existence.

Cbange  of  Cbarter  an&  ©rganlsatlon* 

At  the  regular  annual  meeting  of  the  Trustees,  held  on 
June  2d,  1900,  the  Superintendent  reported  that  the  session 
(fifty-seventh)  then  about  to  close,  was,  all  things  considered, 
the  most  prosperous  in  the  history  of  the  School.  He  urged, 
as  he  had  repeatedly  done  for  years,  the  necessity  of  expansion 
and  advance ;  that  the  premises  were  not  adequate  to  meet  the 
pressure  from  without,  nor  for  affording  the  facilities  de- 
manded in  a  first-class  school  for  young  ladies  in  the  present 
conditions  and  demands  of  society.  The  Board,  after  due 
deliberation,  determined  to  reorganize  the  corporate  organiza- 
tion under  which  the  School  has  been  conducted  from  its 
origin  and  by  unanimous  vote,  a  full  Board  being  present, 
passed  the  following  resolution : 

"  That  the  President  and  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  Hollins  Institute  are  hereby  authorized  and  directed  to 
execute  and  deliver  to  Charles  L.  Cocke  and  the  legal  repre- 
sentatives of  Charles  H.  Cocke,  or  to  such  corporation  as 
they  may  designate,  a  deed  with  apt  words  of  conveyance,  and 
with  covenants  of  general  warranty,  to,  all  and  singular,  the 
real  estate  and  premises  now  owned  and  controlled  by  this 
Board,  or  to  which  it  may  be  entitled,  either  in  law  or  equity. 

That  the  said  officers  are  also  further  authorized  to 
transfer  to  the  grantee,  in  the  deed  above  mentioned,  the  right 
to  use  the  name  '  Hollins  Institute '  as  the  title  and  name  for 
an  institution  of  learning  for  the  education  of  young  women, 
and  also  the  good  will  of  the  institution  known  as  '  Hollins 
Institute,'  which  has  been  for  many  years  conducted  under  the 
auspices  of  this  Board,  as  well  as  all  the  rights  and  franchises 
now  held  by  this  Board  under  the  various  acts  of  the  General 
Assembly  of  Virginia  incorporating  this  Institution.'* 


20  Fifty-Seventh  Annuai.  Register  and 


prtnciplee  Mbicb  (Bovern  tble  ScbooL 


This  school  closed  its  fifty-seventh  annual  session  on  the 
sixth  day  of  June,  1900.  During  its  history  it  has  accom- 
plished a  great  work.  Thousands  of  young  women  have  gone 
forth  into  life  bearing  its  training  and  impress,  and  have  filled, 
and  many  of  them  still  fill,  elevated  positions  in  society,  and, 
in  many  instances,  places  of  high  responsibility  and  influence. 

The  following  general  principles  have  been  recognized  as 
of  prime  importance  and  have  controlled  its  management : 

I.  Culture.     All  true  culture  must  come  from  within. 
The  heart,  the  mind,  the  moral  principles,  the  Christian 

virtues  must  have  true  training  under  pure  and  elevated  stand- 
ards in  order  to  develop  high  culture  and  character. 

II.  Daily  Life.  The  every-day  life  of  a  boarding-school 
for  young  ladies  must  be  kept  up  to  true  standards. 

The  principles  and  habits,  the  ways  and  manners  of  girls 
during  the  scholastic  period,  are  likely  to  cling  to  them  through 
life  and  determine  their  positions,  their  success  and  their  des- 
tiny. In  all  the  daily  and  hourly  contacts  and  associations  of 
school-life,  high-toned  principles  of  honor  and  integrity,  pleas- 
ant and  tasteful  manners,  neat  and  appropriate  attire,  cleanli- 
ness of  person,  pure  speech  and  high  aspirations,  should  be 
recognized  and  inculcated. 

III.  Health.  The  physical  health  and  development  of 
girls  at  school  is  a  matter  of  supreme  importance. 

This  school  affords  ample  facilities  for  the  preservation 
and  development  of  physical  health  and  vigor.  In  addition  to 
a  regular  physical  culture  department,  our  campus  is  most 
beautiful,  attractive  and  extensive,  embracing  about  thirty 
acres  of  land,  with  hill  and  dale,  springs  and  brooks,  and  cov- 
ered with  hundreds  of  shade  trees,  all  inviting  the  outdoor 
sports  and  j)leasures  so  necessary  to  the  health  of  student 
girls.  We  enjoy,  further,  the  advantages  of  springs  of  sulphur 
anrl  clialybcate  water  immediately  on  the  grounds,  one  in  close 


Announcement  of  Hollins  Institute.  21 

proximity  to  the  buildings.  This  water  possesses  valuable 
medicinal  properties  and  affords  a  fine  tonic  for  weakly  girls. 
For  cases  of  delicate  health  or  serious  sickness  ample  and  com- 
fortable rooms  are  provided  away  from  the  noise  and  bustle 
of  the  school,  and  presided  over  by  a  superior  resident  phys- 
ician and  an  experienced  trained  nurse.  Our  atmosphere  is 
pure  and  invigorating  at  all  seasons,  and  many  girls  who  come 
to  us  in  feeble  health  gain  strength,  vigor  and  bloom. 

IV.  Comfort  in  accommodations,  free  social  intercourse  with 
each  other,  with  officers  and  their  families,  and  such  persons  as 
are  knozvn  to  he  proper  parties  to  admit  to  the  precincts  of  the 
school,  wholesome  and  well  prepared  food  in  abundance,  and 
amusements  such  as  engage  both  mind  and  body — all  these  com- 
bined induce  contentment,  cheerfulness,  and  a  condition  of  restful 
satisfaction. 

A  girl  whose  normal  condition  is  one  of  unrest,  peevish- 
ness, dissatisfaction  with  herself  and  her  surroundings,  is  not 
likely  to  make  progress  in  moral,  literary  or  aesthetic  culture. 
Every  girl  should  be  made  to  feel  that  she  is  in  a  home  per- 
vaded by  the  most  generous  and  tender  sympathies. 

V.  An  institution  having  charge  of  girls  and  young  ladies 
wlw  come  from  distant  homes,  must  be  pervaded  with  the  conscious 
recognition  of  the  grave  and  delicate  responsibilities  assumed,  or  it 
is  unfitted  for  a  true  and  high  mission. 

This  school  has  always  realized  its  high  obligation  to  the 
parents  and  guardians  of  those  committed  to  its  temporary 
guardianship.  It  feels  that  in  committing  their  daughters  and 
wards  to  its  training  and  guidance,  they  have  imposed  a  most 
sacred  trust,  which  it  must  fulfill  at  any  cost  of  anxiety  and 
care.  The  school  being  really  one  large  family,  composed  of 
its  teachers,  its  officers  with  their  children  and  the  pupils,  all 
on  perfect  social  equality,  the  moral  and  social  principles  which 
hold  sway  must  not  be  left  to  chance  or  doubtful  precedent, 
but  must  be  founded  in  truth  and  right,  as  determined  by 
intelligent  and  wise  authority. 

VI.  Personal  contact  with  the  outside  world,  and  especially 
with  strangers,  must  be  carefully  guarded,  and  must  be  under  the 
supervision  and  direct  control  of  judicious  officers.  Parents,  at 
their  distant  homes,  are  in  no  position  to  pass  judgment  in  such 
cases. 


22  Fifty-Seventh  Annual  Register  and 

The  neglect,  or  total  ignoring,  of  such  a  provision,  has 
brought  ruin  to  many  a  school.  Under  this  principle  this 
school  has  preserved  a  record  untarnished  by  a  single  social 
scandal  for  fifty-seven  years — the  period  of  its  existence. 

VII.  To  meet  the  wants  of  a  large  school  for  girls  great 
variety  of  talent  and  a  wide  range  of  scholarship  must  concenter 
in  the  Faculty. 

This  institute  usually  provides  eight  male  professors  and 
ten  or  twelve  lady  teachers.  When  others  are  needed  they  are 
provided. 

Again :  Scholarship  is  by  no  means  the  only  requisite  in 
a  teacher ;  experience,  "  aptness  to  teach,"  and  personal 
adaptedness  in  character,  habits  and  manners  are  of  first 
importance.  Great  care  is  taken  to  provide  professors  and 
teachers  not  only  of  superior  scholarship,  but  possessed  of  all 
those  gifts  and  qualities  which  combine  to  make  a  true  teacher 
and  an  accomplished  officer. 

VI I I.  The  safe  passage  of  pupils  from  their  homes  to  school 
and  their  return,  is  a  matter  of  concern  to  us,  as  it  is  to  their 
parents  and  guardians. 

When  several  come  together  from  the  same  section  we 
often  send  a  special  escort  to  meet  them  at  some  designated 
point.  Of  course  this  can  not  be  done,  except  in  special  cases, 
but  the  friends  of  young  ladies  should  take  special  care  to 
have  them  under  reliable  protection  en  route  to  and  from 
school. 

IX.  Patriotism  and  religion,  in  their  true  essence,  above 
party  and  sect,  shotdd  be  inculcated  in  every  school,  whether  for 
males  or  females,  or  for  both. 

In  this  school  the  pupils  are  encouraged  to  appreciate  and 
love  their  country  in  all  its  vast  domain,  to  cherish  respect  for 
and  admiration  of  its  great  government,  its  great  institutions, 
and  its  great  people. 

Daily,  and  especially  on  Sunday,  are  they  impressed,  by 
precept  and  example,  with  religious  truth  and  principles  and 
practice.  They  enjoy  the  privilege  of  hearing  able  ministers 
of  the  gospel  of  different  communions,  alternately  every  Sun- 
day, and  they  are  also  thoroughly  taught  in  Christian  truths

by  special  lessons.  The  Bible  is  our  only  text-book  in  religion. 
A  boarding-school  for  girls,  of  all  places,  is  the  most 
inappropriate  arena  for  the  discussion  of  party  politics  and 
sectarian  tenets  and  distinctions, 
cussions. 


We  discourage  all  such  dis-

1.  Many  parents  suspend  the  scholastic  training  of  their 
daughters  just  when  they  have  reached  a  degree  of  mental  dis- 
cipline preparatory  to  a  successful  advance  to  those  studies 
which  fit  them  for  entrance  into  society.  They  should  con- 
tinue in  school  at  least  another  year. 

2.  The  command  of  an  unnecessary  amount  of  money 
while  at  school  to  satisfy  imaginary  wants  is  a  great  evil.  It 
diverts  from  studies  and  other  duties,  and  engenders  and  fos- 
ters wasteful  or  extravagant  habits. 

3.  Parents  should  beware  of  allowing  their  daughters  to 
form  the  acquaintance  of  gentlemen,  strangers  to  themselves 
and  strangers  to  the  authorities  of  the  school.  This  is  done 
by  prescribing  unnecessary  and  often  very  improper  visits 
beyond  the  limits  of  ofificial  supervision. 

4.  At  a  place  so  fully  occupied  as  this,  employing  many 
servants  and  entertaining  many  visitors,  we  can  not  be  respon- 
sible for  the  loss  of  valuables  by  pupils.  Money,  jewelry,  etc., 
should  be  deposited  for  safe  keeping  with  the  officer  appointed 
and  employed  for  this  purpose. 

5.  This  school  does  not  interfere  with,  or  supervise,  the 
correspondence  of  its  pupils,  except  in  cases  where  grave 
improprieties  become  known.  In  such  cases  the  facts  are 
promptly  reported  to  parents  or  guardians.  Instructions 
should  always  be  given  as  to  what  correspondence  is  allowed 
and  approved  by  parents  or  guardians. 

6.  Pupils  should  not  leave  before  the  closing  exercises  of 
the  session  have  been  completed.  These  exercises  constitute 
an  important  part  of  the  training  of  the  school.  And,  more- 
over, we  make  special  arrangements  for  the  proper  escort  of 
girls  to  their  homes  on  the  day  after  commencement.  We  can 
make  no  such  provision  on  an  earlier  dav.

llntro&uctori?* 


1.  The  question  as  to  the  best  location  of  boarding- 
schools  for  girls  is  one  to  which  much  attention  has  been 
given  in  recent  years.  After  an  experience  of  two  centuries  on 
this  continent,  the  general  conclusion  has  been  reached  that 
country  localities,  easily  accessible  to  cities,  are  decidedly  pre- 
ferable from  many  considerations.  Many  of  the  largest  and 
best  equipped  of  such  schools  of  recent  origin,  have  been  so 
located,  notably  Vassar  College  of  New  York,  Wellesley  Col- 
lege of  Massachusetts,  and  Bryn  Mawr  College  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. This  school  now  enjoys  these  advantages;  it  is  just 
seven  miles  from  Roanoke,  which  is  rapidly  advancing  to  the 
proportions  of  a  large  city,  and  afifords  facilities  for  meeting  all 
the  various  wants  of  a  school  like  this.  Our  railroad  and  tele- 
graph facilities  are  also  complete,  connecting  us  with  all  parts 
of  the  country. 

2.  I  am  constantly  reminded  of  the  superiority  of  this 
locality  as  a  place  for  the  education  of  girls,  as  I  witness  from 
year  to  year  their  physical  development,  and  the  effect,  on 
character  and  conduct,  of  the  exclusion  of  those  scenes  and 
associations  which  so  demoralize  girls  when  exposed  to  them. 
Stringent  rules,  rigidly  enforced,  in  the  presence  of  tempta- 
tions, and  idle  attractions,  may  save  from  damaging  scandal; 
but  is  this  the  best  influence  under  which  to  develop  character? 
At  the  tender  and  impressionable  age  of  school-life  a  system  of 
espionage  and  unnatural  restraints,  so  annoying  and  irritating 
to  girls,  tends  to  sour  dispositions,  to  foster  the  spirit  of  suspi- 
cion, and  to  develop  artificial  and  deceptive  character.  Unques- 
tionably, girls  at  boarding-schools  should  be  tenderly  guarded 
and  carefully  restricted  in  their  associations,  but  not  by  an 
inexorable  code  of  "  blue  laws."  Location  and  surroundings 
should  be  such  as  to  allow  great  freedom  of  daily  life  and  great 
variety  of  social  intercourse,  while  dangers  and  temptations 


40  Fifty-Seventh  Annual  Register  and 

are  so  far  removed  as  neither  to  give  serious  apprehension, 
and  thus  lead  to  oppressive  regulations,  nor  to  forbid  pleasures 
and  pastimes,  away  from  the  public  gaze,  so  necessary  to  a 
true  physical  and  moral  development.  The  school  which  has 
not  the  resources  within  itself — the  personal  examples,  the 
moral  and  aesthetic  influences,  the  variety  of  exercises  and 
sources  of  enjoyment,  the  comforts  and  social  life — but  has  to 
seek  these  in  associations  beyond  its  precincts,  is  certainly  not 
in  a  condition  to  do  a  permanent  and  successful  work  in  giving 
to  society  the  best  type  of  women.  In  location  and  surround- 
ings, in  internal  resources  and  facilities,  this  Institution  com- 
mands rare  combinations  for  doing  a  great  work  in  its  chosen 
sphere.  The  locaHty  further  enjoys  the  exceptional  advantages 
of  mineral  waters — white  sulphur  and  chalybeate — and  a 
healthful,  bracing  atmosphere  at  all  times. 

3.  The  every-day  life  of  this  school  is  beautiful,  pleasant 
and  impressive.  Contentment,  cheerfulness  and  vivacity  are 
features  so  marked  as  to  excite  surprise  in  visitors,  and  uni- 
formly become  a  subject  of  remark  by  those  who  sojourn  with 
us.  School-life  should  be  made  pleasant  and  happy;  discon- 
tent, irritation  of  feeling,  constant  homesickness,  are  alike 
opposed  to  successful  progress  in  educational  training  and  the 
development  of  sweet  and  smooth  dispositions.  The  sur- 
roundings of  this  school  are  not  objects  and  scenes  which  con- 
stantly excite  hopes  and  wishes  which  it  would  not  be  best  to 
gratify,  and  consequently  a  source  of  dissatisfaction,  nor  such 
as  to  invite  to  irregularities  and  improprieties  of  conduct ;  but 
in  every  direction  the  school  looks  out  upon  beautiful  natural 
scenery,  with  its  ever-varying  shades  and  hues,  and  hence 
never  monotonous.  In  the  absence  of  improper  external 
attractions,  interest  and  sympathy  center  in  school  exercises 
and  home  associations,  and  the  associations  of  the  place  itself 
are  ample — nearly  all  the  pupils  are  boarders,  the  officers  and 
teachers,  with  their  families,  reside  on  the  premises,  together 
with  several  families  in  separate  buildings,  who  may  be  here 
for  educational  purposes.  No  indiscriminate  association  is 
allowed  with  the  outside  public,  and  all  who  are  admitted  to 
the  grounds  must  observe  those  proprieties  which  appertain  to 
premises  appropriated  almost  exclusively  to  the  gentler  sex. 


Announcement  of  HolIwIns  Institute.  41 

When  a  girl  enters  this  school  the  sympathies  of  all  go  forth  to 
her,  and  hence  she  finds  that  she  has  been  made  a  member  of 
a  large  harmonious  family,  and  soon  becomes  contented  and 
happy.  "  Whenever  I  meet  a  Hollins  girl  I  find  her  devoted 
to  the  place  and  the  people,"  is  a  remark  often  made  by 
gentlemen  and  ladies  from  distant  parts.  In  this  paragraph 
the  explanation  is  given. 

4»  Fair  Repute^ — No  institution  in  which  large  numbers 
of  young  ladies  have  their  homes  for  educational  purposes  can 
afford  a  manag-ement  which  gives  rise  to  damaging  criticism  or 
unfavorable  rumor.  Its  reputation  affects  that  of  every 
pupil,  while  the  conduct  of  its  pupils  casts  a  reflex  influence 
on  its  own.  At  every  cost  of  labor  and  vigilance,  good  gov- 
ernment must  be  maintained — a  prudent,  wise,  generous  and 
effective  supervision  must  be  exercised  over  every  pupil  and 
at  all  times. 

5*  Religion^— In  the  development  of  a  true  and  high 
type  of  character  religious  influences,  not  sectarian,  must  play 
an  important  part.  The  Christian  graces,  harmoniously 
blended  and  carefully  cultured  and  exhibited  in  all  the  asso- 
ciations of  life,  give  to  ladies  a  charm  and  a  power  which  no 
adornment  of  person  or  culture  of  intellect  in  their  absence  can 
produce.  The  pupils  of  this  school  must,  and  do,  enjoy  supe- 
rior religious  privileges.  While  separated  from  their  parents, 
pastors  and  other  spiritual  guides,  it  would  be  a  grave  omis- 
sion not  to  make  ample  provisions  for  their  spiritual  wants  and 
religious  development.  Hence,  in  addition  to  daily  worship 
and  weekly  Bible  lessons,  ministers  of  high  repute  in  their 
respective  communions  conduct  services  alternately  in  the 
chapel  of  the  Institute  for  the  special  benefit  of  the  pupils, 
officers  and  families  that  reside  at  the  place. 

6.  Teaching. — The  most  satisfactory  results  can  only  be 
secured  by  the  concentration  of  ability  and  great  variety  of 
talent  and  adaptedness  in  the  Board  of  Instruction.  The 
education  and  training  of  girls  have  in  recent  years  received  a 
degree  of  attention  beyond  that  of  any  period  in  our  history. 
In  every  section  of  our  country  standards  of  scholastic  attain- 
ment have  advanced,  the  equipments  of  schools  have  been 
greatly  enlarged,  and  the  subjects  taught  have  multiplied.    To 


42  Fifty-Seventh  Annuai.  Register  and 

meet  these  varied  and  increasing  demands  this  Institute  em- 
ploys a  large  number  of  teachers  of  varied  attainments  and 
great  versatility  of  talent.  Courses  of  instruction  are  multi- 
plied and  arranged  to  suit  individuality  of  talent  and  endow- 
ment and  the  peculiar  and  ever-modifying  preferences  of  pupils 
and  parents.  Our  pupils  are  not  compelled  to  pursue  a  single 
stereotyped  course,  but  may  select  such  studies  as  will  best 
fit  them  to  fill  successfully  and  creditably  their  contemplated 
spheres  in  future  life.  The  mastery  of  any  school  or  branch  of 
study,  secures  from  that  school  a  diploma  which  ranks  the 
pupil  in  that  department  with  a  full  graduate  of  the  Institute. 
But  such  selections  must  always  be  made  under  the  advice  of 
the  Faculty,  unless  positive  instructions  are  given  by  parents 
or  guardians. 

7.  Apparel. — Expensive  dressing  while  in  school  is 
objectionable  from  many  considerations.  A  girl  whose  mind  is 
absorbed  in  external  adornment  is  not  likely  to  cultivate  and 
develop  those  virtues  which  constitute  the  chief  and  perma- 
nent ornament  of  female  character,  nor  will  she  aim  to  secure 
those  mental  acquirements  which  are  to  give  to  her  influence 
and  success  in  the  better  spheres  and  associations  of  life. 
Money  spent  in  gorgeous  and  costly  attire  or  jewelry  while  in 
school  is  worse  than  squandered.  Far  better  would  it  be  to 
reserve  funds  thus  used  for  travel  and  other  sources  of  im- 
provement after  school  days  are  over. 

This  school  prescribes  no  uniform  dress  for  its  pupils  on 
ordinary  or  public  occasions,  because  it  is  not  necessary  to  do 
so  with  present  surroundings.  Those  who  take  lessons  in 
Physical  Culture  use  a  cheap  uniform  when  engaged  in  the 
exercise,  and  I  would  here  suggest  that  all  pupils  be  required 
to  take  these  exercises,  so  eminently  promotive  of  health  and 
vigor,  no  less  than  of  elasticity  and  grace  of  motion.  Young 
ladies  are  expected  to  observe  simplicity,  good  taste  and  neat- 
ness in  dress  and  personal  habits  in  every-day  life,  and  to  be 
ready  at  any  moment  to  be  called  into  the  presence  of  friends, 
or  even  of  strangers,  should  calls  be  made  on  them.  This  has 
been  the  habit  of  this  school  for  many  years.  Without  effort 
on  the  part  of  officers,  all  our  pupils  conform  to  this  require- 
ment, simply  because  it  is  the  habit  of  the  school  and  the  style 


Announcement  of  Hoi^lins  Institute.  43 

of  every-day  life  with  us.  At  no  time  during  the  session  are 
elaborate  evening  dresses  appropriate.  For  commencement  a 
simple  white  dress  is  all  that  is  required.  All  young  ladies 
attending  this  Institute  must  be  provided  with  walking-shoes, 
rubber  overshoes,  warm  cloaks  or  shawls,  and  caps  or  hats  for 
every-day  wear.  They  must  have  also  warm  clothing,  especially 
underzvear.  We  live  in  a  bracing  climate  and  spend  much 
time  in  the  open  air. 

This  Institute  employs  no  special  agents,  open  or  secret, 
to  invite  patronage.  Parents  and  guardians  are  requested  to 
make  direct  application  to  the  Superintendent.

IboUins  Unstitute. 


Parents  and  guardians  who,  from  choice  or  necessity, 
place  their  daughters  and  wards  in  schools  far  distant  from 
their  homes,  naturally  wish  to  know  the  facilities  and  advan- 
tages which  such  establishments  command,  and  their  capaci- 
ties for  giving  the  training,  culture  and  general  impress  of 
character  most  desirable  for  young  ladies.  With  the  view  of 
imparting  such  information  in  regard  to  this  Institution,  the 
following  paragraphs  are  published : 

I.— Xocatlon. 

HoLLiNS  Institute  is  located  in  Roanoke  County,  Vir- 
ginia, seven  miles  from  the  city  of  Roanoke.  This  county  lies 
in  the  extreme  southwestern  section  of  the  great  Valley  of 
Virginia,  between  the  Blue  Ridge  and  Alleghany  Mountains. 
The  entire  region  abounds  in  picturesque  mountain  scenery; 
the  soil  is  exceedingly  fertile,  and  the  country  abundant  in 


44  Fifty-Seventh  Annual  Register  and 

fruits,  vegetables,  grain  and  grasses.  Probably  no  region  on 
the  continent  is  more  beautiful  in  its  general  aspects,  and  none 
so  well  adapted  in  climatic  influences  to  schools  and  school  life. 
Its  uniform,  invigorating  atmosphere  throughout  the  seasons, 
the  extremes  of  cold  and  heat  never  reaching  their  maxi- 
mum— gives  to  the  pupils  vigor  and  bloom,  and  develops 
elasticity  of  mind  even  amidst  exhausting  labors.  Hence,  in 
this  comparatively  limited  territory  numerous  colleges,  high 
schools  and  other  institutions  exist  and  flourish.  Thousands 
of  pupils  are  gathered  annually  in  these  schools  from  all  parts 
of  the  United  States.  The  salubrity  of  the  climate,  the  beauty 
and  fertility  of  the  country,  its  freedom  from  malarial  diseases, 
its  invigorating  atmosphere,  its  limpid  streams  of  water,  all 
combine  to  render  this  section  peculiarly  adapted  to  the  suc- 
cessful establishment  and  permanent  prosperity  of  large  insti- 
tutions of  learning. 

II —premises  anD  JSuilOings. 

About  eighty  years  ago  the  premises  now  held  by  Hollins 
Institute  were  improved  and  equipped  with  a  view  to  render 
available  valuable  mineral  waters.  In  the  year  1842  the  whole 
property  was  purchased  for  educational  purposes,  and  since 
that  time  has  been  so  used.  All  the  original  buildings  have 
been  removed,  and  others  erected  better  adapted  to  school  pur- 
poses. The  main  buildings  (of  which  there  are  six)  are  of 
brick,  with  slate  and  tin  roofing,  and  afford  accommodations 
for  a  full  faculty  and  one  hundred  and  seventy  boarding  pupils. 
For  many  successive  sessions,  and  often  in  the  history  of  the 
School,  the  accommodations  have  been  filled  at  the  opening  of 
the  session,  and  other  applicants  declined.  When  more  than 
the  prescribed  number  actually  arrive,  the  overflow  is  provided 
for  in  the  families  of  officers  and  other  residents  on  the  grounds 
as  far  as  practicable.  The  buildings  contain  ample  lecture- 
rooms,  a  beautiful  chapel,  spacious  and  elegant  dining-room, 
society  halls,  parlors,  rooms  for  music  and  art,  etc.,  all  arranged 
with  special  reference  to  health,  comfort  and  convenience. 
These  buildings  are  warmed  throughout  by  steam,  and  they 
are  so  connected  by  covered  ways  that  all  parts  of  the  premises 
are  safely  accessible  even  in  the  most  inclement  season.    The 


Announckmbnt  of  HoIvLins  Institute.  45 

grounds  around  the  buildings  are  beautiful  and  extensive, 
embracing  many  acres,  and  are  adorned  with  walks,  shade 
trees  and  shrubbery.  In  close  proximity  to  the  buildings  are 
springs  of  mineral  waters  of  valuable  medicinal  properties. 
The  grounds  and  buildings  are  too  extensive  to  be  represented 
in  a  single  picture.  The  engraving  gives  only  a  partial  view  of 
the  premises. 

m— ®r0ani3ation. 

This  Institute  is  held  by  an  independent  Board  of  Trus- 
tees, with  self-perpetuating  power.  The  Superintendent  is 
chosen  by  the  Corporation  for  a  term  of  years,  and  on  him  is 
devolved  the  appointment  of  professors,  teachers  and  other 
officers,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Trustees.  Each  profes- 
sor conducts  the  more  important  classes  of  his  department,  and 
is  aided  in  other  classes  by  competent  assistants.  All  profes- 
sors and  teachers  reside  permanently  on  the  premises  and  give 
their  whole  time  to  the  interests  of  the  School.  They,  with 
their  families,  board  with  the  pupils,  intermingling  in  all  the 
relations  of  social  life. 

The  Domestic  Department  is  arranged  with  special  refer- 
ence to  health  and  comfort,  as  well  as  to  the  inculcation  of 
those  habits  and  tastes  which  mark  the  true  refined  lady.  It 
is  presided  over  by  the  Lady  Principal,  a  lady  of  culture  and 
refinement,  whose  whole  time  is  given  to  the  supervision  of 
the  pupils.  Connected,  also,  more  especially  with  this  depart- 
ment are  several  other  ladies,  who,  from  long  experience,  are 
admirably  adapted  to  their  positions,  and  give  constant  atten- 
tion to  the  health  and  wants  of  the  pupils. 

In  this  Institute  most  of  the  bed-rooms  are  intended  for 
two  pupils  only ;  a  few  are  large  enough  for  three.  The  young 
ladies  connected  with  the  Collegiate  Department  occupy 
their  own  private  apartments  during  study-hours.  Here  they 
prepare  their  exercises  and  repair  to  the  lecture-rooms  for 
recitation. 

The  younger  pupils  occupy  a  large  study-room  fitted  for 
the  purpose,  and  are  superintended  from  9  o'clock  a.  m.  to 
4  p.  m.  by  a  lady  officer.  Of  this  latter  class  but  few  attend, 
as  the  School  is  designed  especially  for  advanced  pupils. 


46  Fifty-Skvknth  Annual  Register  and 

Pupils  study  more  successfully  in  their  quiet  rooms  than 
when  crowded  together  in  a  large  study-hall  and  kept  sitting 
in  the  same  posture  for  hours  in  succession,  while  the  physical 
exercise  in  going  to  and  from  recitation  throughout  the  day 
proves  highly  conducive  to  health,  vigor  and  bodily  develop- 
ment. 

IV— Discipline. 

Pupils  committed  to  our  care  and  training  are  watched 
over  and  cared  for  in  health  or  in  sickness,  in  school  or  out  of 
school,  as  our  own  children.  The  development  of  character 
and  private  habits,  the  exhibition  of  morals  and  manners  in 
all  the  associations  they  form,  a  fair  name  in  school  and  with 
the  general  public,  give  us  the  same  soHcitude  as  in  the  case 
of  those  bound  to  us  by  ties  of  kindred.  Indeed,  when  they 
leave  school  our  anxieties  do  not  cease  until  we  know  they  are 
again  at  home  and  under  the  care  of  their  friends. 

The  School  is  not  governed  by  minute  specific  rules ;  the 
authority  is  parental  rather  than  official.  We  do  not,  however, 
allow  pupils  to  leave  the  premises  unless  attended  by  an  offtcer, 
nor  to  make  visits  unless  positively  instructed  by  parent  or 
guardian  to  do  so,  and  even  then  we  reserve  the  right  to  decide 
upon  the  propriety  of  such  visits. 

All  the  training — literary,  moral  and  disciplinary — of  this 
School  looks  beyond  girlhood  to  the  future  woman,  bearing 
the  responsibilities  and  sustaining  the  relations  appropriate  to 
her  sex  in  society. 

v.— IReligious   IPrivilCQcs. 

Evening  devotions  are  regularly  held  by  the  Superintend- 
ent, or  some  other  officer,  in  the  spacious  chapel  of  the  Insti- 
tute, accompanied  by  the  organ  and  singing  by  the  pupils  and 
teachers.  On  Sunday  regular  Sabbath-school  exercises  are 
held  at  9  a.  m.,  in  which  the  Bible  alone  is  made  the  text- 
book; at  8  p.  m.,  lectures  on  the  Scripture  or  preaching  by 
evangelistic  ministers  of  approved  qualifications  and  standing. 
At  II  a.  m.  every  Sunday  there  are  services  at  churches  of 
difterent  communions  in  the  immediate  vicinity,  which  pupils 
at  their  option  may  attend. 

Teachers  and  pupils  are  expected  to  contribute  a  small  sum  to 
the  expenses  of  ministers  who  oMciate  in  our  chapel.

VI  — Ibealtb  anO  IRecreation. 

Pupils  of  this  School  usually  enjoy  vigorous  health  during 
the  session,  and  even  after  its  protracted  and  exhausting  labors 
are  over,  return  to  their  homes  with  the  bloom  of  youthful 
vigor  and  freshness.  This  is  due  to  the  effects  of  climate,  the 
use  of  mineral  waters,  and  to  free,  unrestrained  outdoor  exer- 
cises, to  which  ample  and  pleasant  surroundings  invite.  In- 
door exercises  are  also  instituted,  so  that  at  no  season  are  they 
deprived  of  the  means  of  proper  physical  development  and 
those  delights  which  give  elasticity  to  the  spirits  and  healthful 
mental  recreations.  An  experienced  physician  resides  on  the 
premises,  who  attends  promptly  to  cases  of  serious  sickness- 
and  exercises  a  general  oversight  of  the  health  of  the  entire 
establishment.  In  cases  of  serious  illness  parents  and  guar- 
dians are  promptly  informed  by  telegraph,  or  otherwise,  of  the 
true  condition  of  their  daughters  or  wards. 

Dr.  F.  L.  Wood,  an  efficient  dentist,  of  Roanoke,  makes 
professional  visits  to  the  Institute  whenever  necessary. 

VII  — BOmission  of  pupils. 

As  this  Institute  is  a  delightful  home  for  girls  during  the 
entire  period  of  scholastic  training,  pupils  are  received  at  any 
time,  either  during  the  session  or  vacation,  and  are  charged 
at  regular  rates  from  the  day  of  their  entrance.  It  is  most 
desirable,  however,  that  they  enter  promptly  at  the  opening, 
or  the  middle,  of  the  scholastic  term.  While  courses  of 
instruction  are  provided  for  every  age  and  every  degree  of. 
advancement,  the  internal  arrangements  of  the  school  are  best 
adapted  to  boarders  over  the  age  of  twelve  years.  No  one  is 
received  for  a  shorter  period  than  the  entire  session,  or  the 
remaining  portion  thereof,  at  the  time  of  entrance.  Precaution 
is  used  to  prevent  the  admission  of  any  pupil  whose  example 
and  influence  might  prove  injurious  to  others. 

Instead  of  returning  annually  to  their  homes,  pupils  may 
remain  at  the  Institute  throughout  the  period  of  their  school 
days.  Ample  facilities  are  afforded  for  their  comfort  and 
proper  supervision,  as  well  as  for  the  accommodation  of  their 
parents  and  friends  during  the  vacation  months.  This  arrange- 
ment is  well  adapted  to  that  class  of  pupils  who  come  from 


48  Fifty-Skvknth  Annuai.  Register  and 

distant  states  and  sultry  climes ;  more  especially  as  they,  and 
their  friends  who  may  visit  them,  will  enjoy  all  the  advantages 
of  a  mountain  clime  and  mineral  waters  during  the  summer 
and  early  fall. 

Young  ladies  who  enter  this  Institute  are  treated  with  the 
respect  and  attention  which  their  sex  ever  receives  at  the 
hands  of  good  society  in  Virginia.  No  disgraceful  penalties 
are  inflicted,  nor  are  they  subject  to  any  long  catalogue  of 
minute  regulations,  which,  so  far  from  inducing  correct,  lady- 
like deportment,  often  prove  but  a  source  of  constant  annoy- 
ance and  irritation.  General  principles,  as  to  those  proprieties 
of  life,  which  should  ever  be  recognized  and  observed  by  all  of 
their  sex  and  age,  whether  in  or  out  of  school,  are  made 
prominent,  and  the  necessity  for  more  stringent  and  more 
specific  laws  seldom  arises. 

Parents  and  guardians  may  rest  in  the  confident  assur- 
ance that  their  daughters  and  wards,  while  connected  with 
this  Institute,  whether  in  sickness  or  in  health,  will  receive 
every  attention,  supervision  and  comfort  which  they  enjoy  at 
their  homes.  It  is  our  sole  business  in  life  to  take  care  of  and 
train  those  committed  to  our  temporary  guardianship,  and  we 
hope  to  discharge  the  delicate  and  responsible  office  faithfully 
and  in  a  manner  acceptable  to  those  at  least  who  desire  high 
standards  of  mental  and  moral  discipline  for  their  daughters. 

Having  maintained  an  uninterrupted  and  prosperous  career 
for  more  than  a  half-century,  and  having  sent  forth  a  greater 
number  of  that  class  of  girls  that  seek  the  higher  order  of  educa- 
tion than  any  school  in  the  State  of  Virginia,  the  Institute  points 
to  its  past  history  as  the  most  satisfactory  assurance  and  guarantee 
of  future  efficiency.

Several  of  the  schools  named  above  embrace  two  or  more 
departments,  in  each  of  which  a  diploma  is  awarded  : 

1.  School  of  English. — English  Language  and  English 
Literature. 

2.  School  of  Ancient  Languages. — Latin  and  Greek. 

3.  School  of  Modern  Languages. — French  and  German. 
9.     School  of  Music. — Pianoforte,  Voice  Culture,  Organ, 

Violin. 

The  eleven  schools  are  separate  and  distinct,  each  con- 
ducted by  a  Professor,  with  such  assistants  as  the  department 
may  demand.  Each  school  being  distinct,  the  pupil  may,  at 
her  option,  become  a  candidate  for  graduation  in  any  one  or 
all  of  them,  though  it  is  not  possible  for  her  to  pursue  more 
than  four  at  the  same  time.  Diplomas  are  not  conferred  indis- 
criminately upon  all  members  of  a  class  who  have  passed 
through  a  prescribed  course  of  study,  but  on  those  only  who 
at  the  examinations  give  evidence  of  a  thorough  acquaintance 
with  the  subjects  embraced  in  the  courses  upon  which  they 
propose  to  graduate. 

These  courses  of  study,  conducted  under  the  standards 
long  maintained  in  this  Institute,  afiford  a  training  and  a  scope 
of  attainment  equivalent  to  that  usually  prescribed  for  the 


50  Fifty-Sevknth  Annual  Register  and 

A.  B.  degree  in  colleges  for  young  men.  Certainly  very  few 
young  ladies  under  the  age  of  twenty  years  can  go  farther 
without  detriment,  often  permanent,  to  both  physical  and 
mental  health  and  vigor.  But  as  some  young  ladies  propose 
to  continue  their  studies  beyond  the  period  usually  allowed  to 
scholastic  training,  we  give  advanced  courses  in  all  the  depart- 
ments named  above,  corresponding  to  those  usually  required 
for  the  A.  M.  degree  in  the  better  class  of  colleges  for  young 
men.

underlying  description,  narration,  and  exposition.  The  pur- 
pose of  the  course  is  twofold.  In  the  first  place,  to  give  the 
pupil  an  appreciation  of  good  literary  workmanship;  and,  in 
the  second,  to  teach  her  to  apply  to  her  own  writings  the  prin- 
ciples derived  from  such  study.  Four  essays  and  fortnightly 
themes  throughout  the  year  are  required.  With  each  pupil, 
individually,  private  consultations  are  held,  in  which  her  work 
is  carefully  criticised,  and  full  explanations  given  of  each  cor- 
rection.

This  course  is  intended  for  those  who  are  candidates  for 
the  higher  degree,  or  it  may  be  advantageously  pursued  by 
those  who  wish  to  quahfy  themselves  for  teachers  of  Latin  and 
Greek.  It  is  open  to  all  graduates  in  Latin  and  Greek  of  this 
Institute,  and  to  others  who  can,  by  examination,  show  their 
ability  to  profit  by  this  grade  of  instruction. 

The  scheme  of  instruction  is  as  follows : 

1.  Critical  reading  of  the  usual  Latin  and  Greek  authors,  to  be  fol- 
lowed by  an  essay  by  the  pupil  upon  some  assigned  author  or  period. 

2.  Sight  reading  from  the  simpler  Latin  and  Greek  authors. 

3.  Further  practice  in  writing  the  languages. 

4.  Lectures  on  general  philology,  with  special  reference  to  the 
etymology  of  Latin  and  Greek. 

5.  Lectures  on  Grecian  and  Roman  History,  introductory  to  lectures 
on  the  Literature.

Idioms  are  carefully  noted  and  compared  with  the  correspond- 
ing English  forms.  Pupils  are  required  to  write  exercises  and 
original  compositions  throughout  the  course,  and  are,  by  their 
daily  associations  with  a  foreign  teacher,  afforded  the  best 
opportunities  for  acquiring  precision  and  fluency  in  speaking

In  the  Department  of  History  there  are  three  classes : 
Junior,  Intermediate  and  Senior. 

The  Junior  Class  studies  some  elementary  History  of 
England,  and  of  the  United  States,  and  Virginia.  The  aim  of 
this  class  is  to  give  the  student  a  thorough  training  in  the 
best  methods  of  study  and  to  forcibly  show  the  difference 
between  reading  and  studying  History.  Charts  and  maps  are 
extensively  used  in  this  class. 

Text-Books:     Short  History  of  England  (Gardiner)  ;    United  States 
(Fiske).     Parallel:  Guerber's  Histories  (Greece  and  Kome). 

The  Intermediate  Class  pursues  a  general  outline  of  Uni- 
versal History  and  some  elementary  book  on  Government. 
Every  effort  is  made  to  enable  the  student  to  acquire  a  thor- 
ough knowledge  of  the  development  of  present  conditions  by 
studying  those  of  the  past.  Lectures  are  frequently  given, 
independent  work  required,  and  contemporaneous  literature 
read. 

Text-Books  :     Myers's   General   History ;    Government    Class    Book

Each  History  Class  devotes  one  hour  a  week  to  the  dis- 
cussion of  topics  of  the  day  and  general  information.  To 
accomplish  the  best  results  the  student  must  spend  much  time 
in  the  Library  and  Reading-Room.

Students  applying  for  this  work  should  have  completed 
at  least  the  equivalent  of  the  intermediate  courses  in  Mathe- 
matics and  History,  and  should  be  reasonably  familiar  with 
the  facts  of  Physical  Science,  including  an  elementary  knowl- 
edge of  the  human  body  and  its  nervous  physiology. 

The  course  embraces  work  in  Psychology,  in  Logic,  and 
in  Christian  Ethics  as  the  standpoint  for  an  introduction  to 
the  History  of  Philosophic  Thought.  By  means  of  exper- 
iment, of  lecture,  of  reading  and  of  discussion,  so  far  as  is 
possible  in  the  time  allotted,  the  requisite  methods,  facts,  prin- 
ciples, and  theories  are  learned.  As  educational,  however,  the 
aim  is  to  foster  and  develop  that  balanced  self-activity  which  is 
the  goal  of  all  education,  since  it  is  the  only  true  preparation 
for  life.

Fortnightly  soirees  are  given  throughout  the  session,  at 
which  the  pupils  acquire  the  ease  and  self-possession  necessary 
to  creditable  performance  before  an  audience.  Lectures  on 
musical  topics  and  recitals  are  given  from  time  to  time  by 
members  of  the  Music  Faculty. 

Diplomas  anD  Certificates. 

Graduation  in  any  branch  of  music  is  made  to  depend  on 
the  knowledge  and  ability  of  the  pupil  rather  than  on  the 
length  of  time  she  has  studied.  A  Diploma,  with  the  title  of 
Graduate  in  Piano  Music,  will  be  conferred  upon  any  student 
who,  after  having  accomplished  the  course  of  the  Senior  Class, 
gives  proof  of  her  qualifications  by  a  public  recital  before  the 
school  in  classical  and  modern  Pianoforte  Music.  The  can- 
didate must  also  pass  a  successful  examination  in  Theory  and 
History  of  Music. 

The  pupil  giving  proof  of  fair  ability  and  success  in  any 
class  of  music  study  is  entitled  to  a  Certificate  of  Distinction. 

A  Certificate  of  Proficiency  is  given  for  satisfactory  final 
examination  in  the  Senior  Class  of  any  single  branch  of  music 
study.

Students  of  this  instrument  must  have  good  attainments 
in  piano  playing,  and  ought  to  join  the  classes  of  Harmony, 
Counterpoint  and  Musical  Form,  as  these  studies  are  of  special 
importance  to  organists.  Special  course  is  provided  for  those 
who  wish  to  become  professional  church  organists.  All  pupils 
will  have  opportunity  for  playing  in  public,  either  in  concerts 
or  during  the  chapel  services.  The  student  of  exceptional 
technical  abilities,  who  has  passed  through  the  theoretical  ex- 
aminations successfully,  will  be  entitled  to  a  Diploma,  with  the 
title  of  Graduate  in  Organ  Music. 

We  have  a  pipe  organ,  built  by  Labaugh  &  Kemp,  New 
York,  of  two  manuals  and  two  octaves,  pedal  with  twelve 
registers  and  three  couplers ;  also  a  reed  organ,  built  by  Story 
&  Clark,  Chicago,  with  nineteen  stops.

tion, Modulation,  Transposition,  and  in  the  art  of  accompany- 
ing other  instruments  or  the  voice. 

C— \Doice  Culture. 

The  method  taught  is  such  as  to  develop  and  strengthen 
the  voice,  the  first  aim  being  beauty  of  tone  and  proper  breath- 
control — then  facility  of  execution.  Exercises  and  studies  by 
Concone,   Vaccai,   Panofka,   Marchesi   and   others   are   used. 


Announcement  of  Hoi^lins  Institute.  65 

Songs  are  given  as  soon  as  the  pupil  has  formed  some  idea 
of  correct  tone-production,  and  she  is  gradually  made  familiar 
with  the  best  Italian,  German,  French  and  English  composers. 

In  the  selection  of  songs,  not  only  proper  regard  as  to  the 
vocal  abilities  of  the  pupil  is  taken,  but  also  their  individuality 
of  character  and  temperament  is  considered. 

Pupils  of  sufficient  advancement  will  have  the  advantage 
of  training  in  concerted  numbers.  Quartets  and  choruses  will 
be  organized  and  drilled  by  the  music  director. 

A  vocal  pupil  who  has  successfully  passed  through  the 
last  course  of  Vocal  Instruction,  passed  her  examinations  in 
Theory  and  History  of  Music,  and  given  proof  of  her  qualifica- 
tions as  a  singer  by  a  pubhc  recital,  embracing  all  styles  of 
vocal  composition,  is  entitled  to  a  Diploma  as  Graduate  in  Vocal 
Music. 

A  special  course  has  been  arranged  for  those  wishing  to 
prepare  themselves  to  teach  voice  culture.  The  final  test  of 
ability  in  this  course  will  be  a  public  examination  on  all  vocal 
topics  and  methods  of  voice  culture. 

Sigbt  Singing* 

Instruction  is  given  in  Sight  Singing  and  Chorus  Singing 
twice  a  week.  This  class  is  obligatory  upon  all  vocal  pupils, 
and  open,  without  extra  charge,  to  all  pupils  of  the  Music 
Department. 

2).-lt)iolin. 

The  plan  of  study  in  this  department  is  designed  to  create 
a  taste  for  music  of  a  high  order  and  to  arouse  enthusiasm  for 
an  instrument  which  is  constantly  growing  in  favor  with 
young  ladies. 

The  method  of  bowing  used  is  that  of  the  Royal  High 
School,  Berlin,  and  the  plan  of  work  aims  at  thorough  prepa- 
ration for  foreign  study,  at  the  same  time  adapting  itself  to 
the  needs  of  students  who  are  not  preparing  to  be  artists  or 
teachers. 

The  following  is  the  plan  of  study : 

Preparatory   Class :     Eicliberg's  Method  for  Violin  ;  Duos  by  Pleyel 
op.  8  ;  Gibduer  op.  10  ;  Mozart — Duos,  Sonatinas.

Classics ;  Ensemble  Work. 

Intermediate  Class:  Schradieck's  Scales ;  Kayser's  36  Etudes  ;  Dont's 
School  of  Mechanism;  Sonatas  of  Haydn,  Handel,  Mozart;  Best  Modern 
Classical  Compositions  ;  Orchestra  "Work.

Etudes  ;  Fiorillo  ;  Casorti's  Bowing  Studies  ;  Tartini's  Art  de  I'Archet ; 
Duos  of  Viotte ;  Sonatas  by  Tartini,  Handel,  Beethoven ;  Concertos  by 
Bach,  Viotte,  Spohr,  Rode  ;  Modern  Classics  ;  Orchestra  Work. 


Bnacmblc  IPlai^ing. 

All  students  of  the  Intermediate  and  Senior  Grades  will 
be  required  to  enter  the  orchestra,  which  has  two  rehearsals 
weekly.  Students  are  required  to  play  solos  with  orchestra, 
and  members  of  the  Senior  Class  to  play  the  concertos  of  Rode, 
Bach,  Spohr,  with  orchestra  before  graduation.  To  meet  the 
growing  demands  of  the  department,  two  ensemble  classes  for 
students  of  the  Introductory  and  Junior  Grades  will  be  organ- 
ized. These  students  will  be  transferred  to  the  orchestra  when 
prepared.

The  study  of  Music  Theory  Comprises  General  Music 
Knowledge,  History  of  Music,  Harmony,  Musical  Form, 
Analysis,  Counterpoint  and  Composition.  It  is  obligatory 
upon  all  Instrumental  and  Vocal  Students  who  wish  to  receive 
a  Diploma.  The  class  in  General  Music  Knowledge  is  obliga- 
tory upon  all  Instrumental  pupils,  until  successful  examina- 
tion has  been  passed. 

The  study  of  Theory  greatly  facilitates  a  student's  under- 
standing and  rendition  of  piano  and  organ  music,  and  is  indis- 
pensable for  one  who  wants  to  make  a  specialty  of  music. 

Junior  Class:     General  Music  Knowledge  and  History  of  Music. 

Intermediate  Class:     Harmony  and  History  of  Music.

X.   scbooi  of  art. 

Miss  Stone. 

In  this  department  Drawing  and  Painting  are  taught.  A 
knowledge  of  the  principles  of  drawing  is  essential  to  the  suc- 
cessful study  of  any  branch  of  Art ;  and  accuracy  of  drawing 
is  to  be  desired  above  all  things.  From  the  first  lessons  a  few 
simple  principles  are  taught ;  these  form  the  basis  for  all  work. 
By  studying  from  objects,  still-life,  and  nature,  the  pupil 
creates  pictures  and  does  not  simply  copy  those  made  by  some 
one  else.  It  is  the  aim  of  the  course  so  to  train  the  mind  and 
hand  that  the  pupil  becomes  able  to  appreciate  the  highest  and 
best  in  Art,  and  to  produce,  unaided,  pictures  which  will  be 
elegant  and  pleasurable  ornaments  for  home. 

Course  ot  Hrt  StuDi^. 

Class  I.  Elementary  Drawing— Outline  drawing  from  objects  ;  out- 
line drawing,  details  of  human  figure  from  casts  ;  drawing  from  still-life, 
shaded  in  charcoal. 

Class  II.  Figure  Drawing  and  Painting — Heads  from  casts,  still-life 
groups  from  objects,  landscapes  from  an  approved  model  or  from  nature. 
History  of  Art. 

Class  III:  Painting  in  Oil  and  Drawing  from  the  Antique  in  Char- 
coal.— Figures  from  the  antique  ;  still  life  groups  ;  portrait  heads  from  life 
shaded  in  charcoal ;  history  of  art  and  study  of  lives  of  eminent  artists. 

Pupils  will  be  given  test  studies,  on  which  will  depend 
their  advancement  into  a  higher  class. 

A  Distinction  of  Proficiency  in  Drawing  will  be  given  to 


68  Fifty-Seventh  Annual  Register  and 

the  student  whose  work  admits  her  to  the  Art  Students^ 
League  of  New  York,  to  which  institution  her  drawings  will 
be  sent  for  examination.  Applicants  for  a  Proficiency  in 
Painting  must  pass  the  examination  for  a  Proficiency  in  Draw- 
ing, as  well  as  for  that  in  Painting. 

An  Advanced  Course  will  be  furnished  those  students 
who  desire  to  fit  themselves  for  teaching  and  for  European  art 
study. 

An  exhibition  of  the  students'  work  is  held  at  the  close  of 
each  school  year.

Blocution. 

The  purpose  of  this  department  is  to  make  natural  readers 
by  means  of  the  most  thorough  and  comprehensive  instruction 
for  the  development  of  effective  delivery  in  all  forms  of  expres- 
sion. It  is  intended  for  a  school  of  training  and  personal  cul- 
ture, and  its  object  is  to  develop  correct  action  of  the  mental 
and  emotional  natures,  as  well  as  the  control  of  every  outward 
manifestation,  and  to  realize,  as  far  as  possible,  a  well-poised, 
harmonious  individuality,  capable  of  giving  artistic  expression 
to  thought  and  feeling. 

The  system  is  based  upon  the  principles  of  physiology, 
psychology,  and  art,  aiming  directly  at  the  development  of  the 
student's  native  powers,  and  so  giving  full  expression  to  the 
latent  natural  talent.  The  necessity  for  developing  the  tech- 
nical skill  for  expression,  as  well  as  the  mental  and  emotional 
powers,  is  recognized. 

Much  attention  is  paid  to  the  careful  analysis  of  selected 
specimens  of  literature.  This  embraces  the  study  of  the  pur- 
pose of  any  composition  to  be  rendered ;  its  natural  divisions 
of  thought ;  the  relation  of  these  divisions  to  the  underlying 
purpose  of  the  whole  and  to  each  other;  the  climax  of  the 
whole  and  of  each  division ;  the  thought  of  each  sentence,  and 
its  comparative  value. 


Announcement  of  Hollins  Institute.  69 

The  interpretation  of  literature  requires  not  only  imagina- 
tive power  and  emotional  energy,  but  also  the  ability  to  direct

The  Instruction  in  the  Day  School  connected  with  this 
department  embraces  all  subjects  usually  taught  in  common 
schools,  commencing  with  the  lowest  grade  of  studies  :  Spell- 
ing, Defining,  Reading;  Primary  and  more  Advanced  History; 
Primary  and  Reasoned  Arithmetic;  Civil,  Descriptive,  and 
Physical  Geography ;  English  Grammar ;  Penmanship ;  Com- 
position. 

From  9  o'clock  a.  m.  to  4  o'clock  p.  m.  the  pupils  of  this 
School  sit  together  in  a  room,  properly  fitted  for  the  purpose, 
under  the  constant  supervision  of  a  teacher,  two  recesses 
being  allowed  during  this  time. 

The  aim  of  the  teacher  in  this  school  is  not  only  to  teach 
the  contents  of  text-books,  but  also  to  quicken  the  perceptive 
and  reasoning  powers  of  pupils.

The  science  of  accounts  is  taught  by  a  course  of  instruc- 
tion— theoretical  and  practical — in  Bookkeeping  by  single  and 
double  entry. 

If  the  student  does  not  write  a  fair,  legible  hand,  it  will 
be  the  aim  of  the  instructor  first  to  remedy  this  defect.  She 
will  be  practised  in  commercial  forms  and  calculations.  Mean- 
while, the  principles  of  the  science  of  Bookkeeping  will  be 
gradually  developed  by  study  of  the  text-book,  by  lectures  of 
the  teacher  and  by  practical  exercises.  This  study,  besides 
the  direct  practical  application,  affords  a  mental  discipline 
equal  to  that  afforded  by  most  branches  of  study.

The  sacred  Scriptures  are  read  daily  before  the  whole 
school,  and  this  exercise  is  accompanied  with  appropriate 
devotions.  The  school  is  also  divided  into  classes,  each  of 
which  recites  on  the  Sabbath  day  a  Bible  lesson  to  some  one  of 
the  officers  or  to  more  advanced  pupils. 

The  pupils  of  the  Institute  enjoy,  moreover,  the  advan- 
tages of  religious  exercises  most  frequently  twice  every  Sun- 
day. The  exercises  consist  of  sermons  by  approved  ministers 
of  different  denominations ;  lectures  and  addresses  by  officers 
of  the  school,  and  other  services. 

All  sectarian  influences,  from  whatever  quarter,  are  posi- 
tively forbidden. 

In  addition  to  regular  Bible  lessons  for  the  whole  school 
on  Sundays,  provision  is  made  for  a  more  scholastic  and

Pupils  coming  to  this  school  are  subjected  to  no  rigid 
examinations  before  entering  the  different  classes.  To  subject 
them  to  such  examination  would  place  them  at  disadvantage, 
more  especially  those  from  distant  sections,  on  their  first 
entrance  among  strangers.  Hence,  they  are  at  first  placed  in 
such  classes  as  their  own  statement  as  to  degree  of  advance- 


72  Fifty-Skventh  Annual  Register  and 

ment  indicates  they  are  prepared  to  enter,  and  changes  are 
made  after  actual  test  in  the  daily  recitations,  if  necessary. 

Long  experience  has  convinced  us  that  two  examinations 
(Intermediate  and  Final)  only  during  the  session  subject  girls 
to  a  degree  of  mental  tension  and  physical  fatigue  injurious 
to  health  and  not  productive  of  best  results.  It  has,  therefore, 
been  determined  to  increase  the  number  of  examinations, 
making  each  less  taxing  to  the  energies  of  both  mind  and 
body,  but  not  less  effective  in  determining  the  true  standard 
of  each  pupil.  The  examinations  will  occur  at  the  completion 
of  specific  portions  of  the  course  in  each  department  of  study. 

IReports. 

Daily  records  of  the  attendance,  deportment,  and  scholar- 
ship of  the  pupils  are  kept,  from  which  quarterly  reports  are 
made  and  forwarded  to  parents  and  guardians.  The  value 
of  each  recitation  or  exercise  is  marked  by  numbers,  one  hun- 
dred being  the  maximum,  and  signifying  perfect.  The  stand- 
ing of  the  pupil  for  the  quarter  is  the  average  of  her  daily 
marks.  In  these  reports  a  general  average  of  the  grades 
attained  in  all  her  studies  is  also  made.  As  a  means  of  excit- 
ing to  diligence  and  emulation,  these  reports  are  read  in  the 
presence  of  the  whole  school. 

tlbe  Golden  IReport. 

Reports  in  which  the  general  average  of  scholarship  is  as 
much  or  more  than  87J  (one  hundred  being  the  highest 
grade)  are  called  "  Golden  Reports,"  and  by  way  of  distinc- 
tion are  printed  in  golden  type.  This  honor  is  attainable  by 
any  pupil  in  the  school,  whether  in  the  highest  or  lowest 
classes.  To  attain  this  distinction  the  pupil's  mark  in  deport- 
ment must  be  perfect. 

Five  medals  are  offered  in  this  Institution  as  rewards  of

V.    Xlbe  Degree  ot  jfull  Graduate. 

This  degree,  the  highest  honor  of  the  school,  will  be  con- 
ferred when  the  student  has  received  diplomas  in  the  follow- 
ing departments :  English  Language,  English  Literature, 
Latin,  French  or  German,  History,  Mathematics  or  Physics, 
Chemistry  and  Moral  Science. 

Candidates  for  any  one  of  the  degrees  mentioned  in  Sections 
IV  and  V  must  submit  to  the  Board  of  Instruction  an  Essay  of 
approved  merit,  composed  by  herself,  upon  some  literary  or 
scientific  subject.  This  Essay  must  be  submitted  to  the  Faculty 
by  the  first  day  of  May. 


The  Annual  Sessions  of  this  Institute  open  in  the  month 
of  September,  on  Wednesday,  and  continue  until  the  following 
June.  The  particular  day  of  the  month  is  announced  from 
year  to  year. 

The  fifty-eighth  session  will  open  on  the  nineteenth  day  of 
September,  1900,  and  continue  to  the  first  Wednesday  in  June, 
1 901. 

Students  should  be  present  on  or  before  the  first  day  of 
the  session.  No  deduction  from  regular  charges  will  be  made 
for  absence  previous  to  the  first  day  of  October.  Those  who 
register  after  that  date  are  charged  from  the  day  of  entrance 
to  the  close  of  the  session.  No  deduction  is  made  for  tempo- 
rary absences  during  the  session. 

Students  who  leave  for  other  than  afiflictive  providential 
causes  are  charged  at  regular  rates  to  the  close  of  the  session. 
This  requirement  is  made  for  the  obvious  reason  that  the 
absence  of  a  pupil  does  not  diminish  at  all  the  expenses  of  a 
school ;  her  teachers  and  all  employes  are  paid  in  full  to  the 
end  of  the  session,  and  every  provision  is  made  for  her  as 
though  she  were  present.  Moreover,  by  her  absence  a  vacancy 
is  made  which  another  applicant  might  have  filled,  not  for  a 
single  session  only,  but  perhaps  for  several.  Hence  such  a 
regulation  in  this  and  in  all  schools  of  the  better  class.

Special  studies  are  allozved  only  with  permission  of  parents 
or  guardians.  When  begun,  however,  they  can  not  he  discon- 
tinued without  payment  to  the  close  of  the  current  half  session. 

Regular  lessons  in  Music  and  Elocution  are  given  twice 
weekly.  When  students  devote  their  whole  time  to  such 
studies  more  lessons  are  given  and  at  extra  cost.  The  charges 
given  above  are  for  regular  lessons,  and  in  music  one  hour 
daily  practice,  in  addition  to  lessons. 

Text-books,  sheet-music,  stationery,  etc.,  are  furnished 
at  city  prices  for  cash  or  quarterly  payments. 

Pupils  boarding  with  families  on  the  premises  or  in  the 
neighborhood  make  their  own  terms  for  board,  and  pay  only 
tuition  fee — for  regular  collegiate  course,  sixty  dollars,  and  for 
preparatory  course,  thirty  dollars ;  no  extra  charge  is  made  to 
them  for  use  of  public  rooms. 

For  all  extra  lessons  in  special  studies  a  charge  at  regidar 
rates  is  made,  and  when  in  the  Department  of  Music  extra  hours 


78  Fifty-Skvknth  Annual  Register  and 

for  practice  are  demanded,  for  each  such  hour  of  daily  practice 
a  charge  of  ten  dollars  per  session  is  made  for  piano  and  -fifteen

No  charge  is  made  for  transportation  of  pupils  and  their 
baggage  from  and  to  our  railroad  station  at  the  opening  and 
close  of  the  session.  For  all  other  transportation,  however,  a 
reasonable  charge  is  made. 

Cottages  tor  IRent. 

There  are  two  well  constructed  cottages  of  eight  and  ten 
rooms  respectively  on  the  Institute  grounds.  They  are  rented 
from  year  to  year  by  parties  who  prefer  to  be  with  their 
daughters  while  at  school.  Those  who  rent  them  may  receive 
boarders  at  their  own  charges,  provided  such  boarders  are 
subject  to  the  regulations  of  the  school.  These  cottages  are 
of  recent  construction  and  are  well  finished,  commodious  and 
comfortable.  Both  are  supplied  with  water.  One  is  heated 
by  steam  and  the  other  by  open  grates.  Apply  to  the  Business 
Manager  for  terms. 

:fiSoarDing  2)epartment. 

All  pupils  connected  with  the  Collegiate  Department, 
boarding  on  the  premises,  occupy  their  own  private  rooms 
during  study-hours,  except  when  attending  lectures  or  other 
exercises.  These  rooms  are  kept  comfortably  warm  by  steam- 
heat  from  early  dawn  till  lo  o'clock  p.  m.  The  bed-rooms  are 
furnished  with  all  needed  articles  for  comfort  and  convenience, 
and  the  pupils  are  constantly  supervised  by  the  offtcers. 

Pupils  connected  with  the  Preparatory  School,  both 
boarders  and  day  scholars,  study  together  in  a  large  and 
properly  fitted  room,  always  kept  at  a  comfortable  temperature 
and  properly  ventilated. 

The  Boarding  Department  is  conducted  by  the  Superin- 
tendent, aided  by  competent  sub-officers. 

The  Dining-Room  is  on  the  second  story,  connected  with 
the  other  buildings  by  covered  ways.  It  is  commodious  and 
attractive,  with  ample  culinary  attachments. 

Young  ladies  who  wish  to  enjoy  the  salubrity  of  a  moun- 
tain  climate   and   the   benefit   of  mineral   waters   during  the

summer  months,  are  boarded  at  twenty  dollars  per  month 
during  vacation,  under  proper  supervision,  and  when  they 
desire  it  their  relatives  are  also  boarded  during  vacation 
months  at  twenty-five  dollars  per  month. 

When  patrons  of  the  school  and  friends  of  the  young 
ladies  visit  in  the  school,  they  will  be  charged  at  the  rate  of 
one  dollar  a  day  for  visits  protracted  longer  than  twenty-four 
hours. 


Ilnformation  for  patrone^ 


1.  This  Institute  owns  a  tract  of  land  of  one  hundred 
and  fifty  acres  in  the  county  of  Roanoke,  and  one  and  a  half 
miles  from  HoUins  Station,  on  the  Norfolk  and  Western  Rail- 
way. Near  the  center  of  the  tract  its  buildings  are  located, 
thus  excluding  them  from  the  annoyance  of  close  proximity  to 
public  thoroughfares.  All  persons  living  in  the  buildings, 
whether  pupils  and  officers  or  others,  are  under  the  supervision 
and  regulations  of  the  Institute.  These  premises  are  beautiful 
and  attractive,  but  are  kept  posted  according  to  law,  and  are 
not  allowed  to  become  a  resort  for  the  indiscriminate  public. 

2.  Parents  are  asked  not  to  give  permissions  which  conflict 
with  the  regulations  of  the  School.  All  permissions  as  to  taking 
up  and  dropping  studies,  visiting,  going  home,  etc.,  etc.,  should 
he  communicated  directly  to  the  Superintendent.  Parents  at  a 
distance  do  not  always  understand  the  conditions  involved  and 
sometimes  give  permissions  which  they  would  zvithhold  were  they 
cognizant  of  the  facts  in  the  case.  They  are  advised  to  acquaint 
themselves  with  the  views  of  the  School  before  giving  such  per- 
missions. 

3.  In  cases  of  sickness,  as  soon  as  symptoms  of  serious 
disease  manifest  themselves,  the  friends  of  the  patient  are 
informed  by  telegraph  or  letter,  every  attention  in  the  mean- 
time being  given  which  could  be  bestowed  were  they  present. 
Comfortable  and  pleasant  rooms  are  provided  for  those  who 
may  become  sick,  or  even  slightly  indisposed,  that  they  may 


8o  Fifty-Seventh  Annual  Register  and 

be  avv-ay  from  the  hurry  and  bustle  of  school  exercises  and 
under  the  care  of  the  matron  for  the  sick.  It  must  not  be 
inferred  that  when  a  pupil  is  taken  to  these  rooms  she  is 
necessarily  very  sick;  for  it  often  happens  that  girls  are 
removed  to  the  infirmary  merely  to  give  them  mental  rest  and 
quietude. 

4.  When,  in  case  of  sudden  emergency,  pupils  are  called 
home,  instructions  should  be  sent,  not  to  the  pupil,  or  some 
third  party,  but  to  the  Superintendent,  who  will  make  ample 
provision  to  meet  the  case,  whatever  it  may  involve.  When 
pupils  are  committed  to  others  than  officers  of  the  school,  or 
authorized  to  make  visits,  or  to  go  home  at  the  close  of  the 
session  with  other  parties,  written  instructions  should  be  sent 
to  the  Superintendent ;  and  in  such  cases  the  Institute  is 
released  from  responsibility  as  soon  as  such  instructions  shall 
have  been  fulfilled.  The  Institute  does  not  allow  its  pupils  to 
be  absent  from  the  premises  during  the  night,  except  with 
immediate  relatives. 

5.  Absence  from  Examinations  is  highly  injurious  to  the 
good  order  and  success  of  the  school ;  for  these  examinations 
are  not  only  a  test  of  scholarship  and  an  important  means  of 
mental  training,  but  they  constitute  a  powerful  incentive  to 
diligence  and  successful  study. 

6.  Some  parents  do  their  children  a  zvroiig  by  calling  them 
from  school  before  the  closing  exercises  of  the  session.  As  soon  as 
such  permission  reaches  the  student  she  is  not  only  inclined  to 
neglect  her  ozvn  studies,  and  thus  fail  to  pass  successfully  her  Unal 
examinations,  but  she  becomes  a  disturbing  element  in  the  school. 
Moreover,zvhena  pupil  leaves  before  the  closing  exercises  a  general 
unfavorable  impression  is  made  as  to  the  cause  of  her  leaving. 

7.  This  Institute  does  not  allow  its  pupils  to  receive  the 
attentions  of  gentlemen,  whether  such  attentions  are  approved 
by  the  parents,  or  guardians,  or  not.  When  it  is  absolutely 
necessary  for  calls  to  be  made  by  gentlemen,  whether  relatives 
or  friends,  they  should  invariably  present  letters  of  introduc- 
tion and  instruction  to  the  Superintendent,  and  even  then  such 
calls  must  not  be  too  frequently  repeated.  We  can  not  assume 
the  responsibility  of  supervising  such  associations  of  young 
ladies  committed  to  our  care — it  is  the  province  of  immediate 
relatives.    The  proper  social  culture  of  the  pupils,  however,  is 


Announcement  of  Hollins  Institute.  8i 

not  neglected.  All  the  teachers  and  their  families  reside  on 
the  premises,  and,  under  proper  regulations,  the  freest  social 
intercourse  is  enjoyed.  On  frequent  occasions,  also,  the  par- 
lors of  the  Institute  are  open  for  social  entertainments,  at 
which  none  other  than  the  teachers  and  their  families  are 
expected  to  attend,  save  by  special  invitation  of  the  Superin- 
tendent. 


Commencement 


The  closing  exercises  of  the  session  are  held  annually  in 
the  month  of  June.  On  this  occasion  diplomas  and  certifi- 
cates awarded  to  successful  students,  are  conferred,  and  ad- 
dresses are  made  by  distinguished  invited  speakers. 


Xiterar?  Societies^ 


Of  these  there  are  two  connected  with  the  Institute,  the 
Euzelian  and  the  Euepian.  Their  weekly  meetings  are  of 
great  interest  and  profit  to  the  members.  The  exercises  are 
varied ;  reading  from  standard  authors  and  from  the  leading 
magazines  of  the  day  are  a  potent  means  of  improvement,  but 
the  center  of  power  and  of  interest  lies  in  the  original  work  of 
the  members  themselves — in  essays,  written  debates,  and  in  the 
general  discussion  of  questions  practical  and  literary.  Thus 
not  only  training  is  secured,  but  no  inconsiderable  store  of 
information.  Best  of  all,  the  student,  bringing  to  bear  upon 
the  subject  under  consideration  what  she  has  learned  in 
difficult  lines,  discovers  for  herself  something  of  that  unity  and 
harmony  of  knowledge  which  so  fires  the  mind  to  further 
search.  Though  the  Faculty  show  their  interest  by  visits  and 
occasional  suggestions,  yet  the  control  and  conduct  of  the 
societies  liewhollywith  the  members  themselves.  This  encour- 
ages a  freedom  of  thought  and  a  zest  for  action  which  is  most 
broadening,  and  which  is  counterbalanced  by  the  recognition 


82  Fifty-Seventh  Annual  Register  and 

on  the  part  of  the  girls  of  the  responsibiUty  devolving  upon 
themselves  to  do  and  be  only  what  is  worthy  of  this  Institute. 

The  societies  send  out  two  publications,  "The  Semi- 
Anmial,"  which  appears  in  February  and  June,  and  ''The 
Spinster,"  which  appears  about  the  close  of  each  session. 
These  publications  are  well  conducted  and  are  sources  of  great 
pleasure  and  profit  to  the  students  having  them  in  charge,  as 
well  as  to  the  school  at  large. 

With  rare  exceptions,  those  who  have  attained  marked 
success  as  students  in  this  school  have  been  members  of  one 
or  the  other  of  these  organizations.  Therefore,  parents  who 
desire  to  secure  for  their  daughters  breadth  of  culture  would 
do  well  in  urging  them  to  avail  themselves  of  this  means  of 
growth. 

Each  society  has  a  commodious  hall  appropriately  fur- 
nished.

This  association  has  as  its  object  the  promotion  of  the 
religious  interests  of  the  students.  Though  the  privilege  of 
membership  is  extended  to  the  Faculty,  the  active  work  and 
the  direction  of  the  association  are  entirely  in  the  hands  of  the 
students  themselves.  A  short  service  is  held  weekly  in  the 
chapel,  and  also  a  monthly  missionary  meeting;  and  the  fund

Special  IRottce  to  Soutbcrn  (Blrle^ 

As  many  young  ladies  from  the  Southern  States  attend 
this  Institute,  one  or  more  of  its  officers  is  annually  deputed  to 
take  charge  of  them  en  route.  Due  notice  of  the  movements  of 
the  officer  will  be  given  through  the  press  or  by  letter.  Young 
ladies  from  States  along  the  lines  of  travel,  when  application  is 
made  in  due  time,  will  be  informed  by  letter  on  what  day  and 
at  what  hour  the  train  will  pass  prominent  points,  so  that  they 
may  be  able  to  join  the  party. 

The  route  from  Houston,  Texas,  will  be  via  New  Orleans, 
over  the  Southern  Pacific,  Southern,  and  Norfolk  and  Western 
Railways. 

The  route  from  Fort  Worth  will  be  via  Cotton  Belt,  Mem- 
phis and  Charleston,  Southern,  and  Norfolk  and  Western. 

A  circular  letter  will  be  issued  and  sent  to  all  patrons  before 
the  opening  of  the  school. 

For  pupils  from  Kentucky,  Ohio,  and  other  States,  West 
and  Northwest,  the  best  and  most  direct  route  is  via  Columbus, 
Ohio,  Chillicothe,  Ohio,  or  Kenova,  W.  Va.,  at  which  points 
they  can  connect  with  the  Norfolk  and  Western  Railway  and 
come  to  Hollins  without  change. 

Agents. — This  school  has  always  looked  with  disfavor 
upon  the  agency  system  of  inducing  the  attendance  of  pupils. 
This  system  often  places  girls  in  schools  which  their  friends 
would  wholly  disapprove  were  they  fully  informed  of  the  social 
and  moral  influences  which  work  in  them,  to  say  nothing  of 
their  facilities  and  standards.  We  regard  the  education  of  girls 
as  too  delicate  and  important  a  matter  to  be  placed  on  a  com- 
mercial basis.  A  father  may,  on  false  representation,  purchase 
inferior  goods  and  sufifer  temporary  loss,  but  when  he  places 
his  daughter  under  influences  which  give  an  impress  to  her 
character  he  may  inflict  a  wrong  which  neither  time  nor  effort 
can  remove.  From  these  considerations,  we  do  not  encourage 
the  agency  system,  but  would  request  those  who  desire  infor- 
mation in  addition  to  what  is  given  in  our  publications  to  write 
for  references.  Prominent  parties  in  all  the  Southern  States 
know  from  observation  and  experience  the  character  and 
standards  of  this  Institute.
